For those that quilt embroidery
#1
Ok some has said that you do your embroidery
with your block and the batting....What kind of batting and how do you use the batting on
the blocks that are not embroidered....This may seem a stupid question *LOL* but I just can't get the process wrapped around my tiny brain today...I live in Florida and I don't need much batting in my quilts. A couple I did I
just used backing. thanks Rita

OK, I used a very thin poly batting on the embroidered blocks, with a VERY light stableizer (sp? however i spell this, it always looks wrong!) Anyway, I then just pieced the quilt and used the thin poly for the whole thing, so the blocks with the embroidery had double batting. Here's what it looked like:

The embroidered blocks had a little extra poof, but not so much as to be distracting. You could also use a QAUG method, and use backing on the embroidered blocks.

I did use two layers of whisper web mesh that is suppose to be no show but it did show thru after I had cut off as much as I could. I used one at 90 degrees and one at 45 degrees but I was happy with it.....thanks again Rita

I have used a thin batting on the embroidered blocks, to make the embroidered areas puff out, but did not use batting on the alternate blocks.
You do not have to use batting, you can just use stabilizer :D:D:D
